My first all-electric car. I bought it used because I did not want to risk $100k for a new one just to learn I may have made a mistake. I am sold on these Teslas. I love this car. I ordered a new one. I will sell the 2016 after I receive the new one.

Very clean 2016 Plus. Light grey interior with black headliner. The red leather floor mats pop in this super clean ride.

Its not a BMW - but thats OK

No way can this thing corner with the responsiveness of a BMW 3 or 5 series. Single speed driving allows much faster acceleration and deceleration that materially changes the driving experience. Take your foot off the "gas" and it feels like you are in 2nd gear. If someone tries any annoying passive aggressive "box you in maneuver" you can pass them before they can pull ahead. You can pretty much pass everyone - all the time. Its liberating! Having said that, I tend to drive it more cautiously than with my BMWs. Tesla has engineered so many small things into the driving experience that when I return to other cars I am reminded how much they are missing. Free power for life, no key entry, radio that plays when you enter, light that set to your liking, stereo controls that actually work. Even so, I don't think I will ever use Autopilot and I can park the car myself. Overall, this is an entertaining, sometimes ecstatic, driving experience.
